Judging by the (non)response to this, I should admit I was wrong. The democratic pessimists would not have said Orban losing would be evidence against their position. Rather, there is nothing that they would admit is evidence against their position 🤷♂️
Something I would like to hear from people who are confident the world is getting less democratic is what evidence or events would lead you to revise that belief?
Part of what I'm getting at here is I'd bet a common answer a few years ago would have been "Orban losing" bsky.app/profile/anth...
Dunno what’s more surprising this or conservatives getting shrooms
